Glimpses of the history of life reveal shocking upheavals, continual change and unexpected twists. The continental and oceanic plates of Earth’s outermost rocky shell, known as the lithosphere, move as if on a conveyor belt. They shift, collide and rupture, shaping the surface of the continents and influencing the climate of our planet as a whole.

Thanks to favourable conditions in the past, the first organisms evolved in the oceans and began producing oxygen necessary for today’s lifeforms. But this was only the beginning.

Embark on a journey to the origins of evolution and explore its billion-year passage from small trilobites to the largest known predatory dinosaurs and the fearsome great white shark.
